Mumbai is hours ahead of the central United States. In order
to operate a call center that takes orders from the US during
US business hours, the call center would need to be operating
from about 6pm Mumbai time until 7am Mumbai time.
In this show it is clear that Mid-American Novelty Call Center
in operating during normal daylight hours.
The movie that this series is based on actually shows the call
center operating during the overnight hours. See more »

Never really wanted to go to Mumbai, but this apparent TV sitcom take on a 2006 movie (didn't see it) about a mid-level management type in charge of a new novelty telemarketing office in India gives it an almost college campus-type setting - complete with cafeteria - that almost makes it look like an interesting place to go. The culture clash between mid-stream, midwestern America and the Indian call center employees could've been ugly or boring. This is neither. The light relationship banter, reminiscent of "Better off Ted," keeps the characters interesting, and sets the stage to await further developments. There's obviously a lot more rich cultural material to mine. Have to admit, the novelties are interesting enough that you wonder, if someone is actually selling them somewhere, how much would they be?
